Summary: ...and dirt inside the Mac revokes the warranty & AppleCare ...


the tech at the local consortium store showed me a "real dirty" mother-board
the other day with the comment "he thought he could get that fixed under
AppleCare...."

"do you mean he'll have to pay for it?  is that on instructions from Apple or
your personal decision?"  I asked.

"Yep, he'll have to pay.  Apple won't accept boards in such conditions" ...

that particular Mac did not seem to have been retrofitted with an internal
fan - at least, I saw no tell-tales - so unless an external one had been
used, this was simply an  'old, dirty Mac' ....

For a moment I was thinking of volunteering to clean it to save the
poor owner the aggravation, but I forget what kept me from doing so ...
I must have been in a hurry or something .....

Moral:  Beware of costly dust - or learn to clean !!! (maybe this is all a
	bad dream??!!??) - not to confuse you, this is a TRUE story.
